Foliage Peak

Our foliage season runs throughout October and as you can see into November.
Here are pics of a visit to a local park minutes from our house.
It was exciting seeing all the different colors while walking around the many paths located on 370 acres.
I have to get out more often !
































The sun began to set...

May not get to visit you or get to your comments right away.)

Garden Accents

Had a fun day walking around Wild Garden Accents store.
Located in Seaville,New Jersey.
They do have a website but being there is an experience in itself.

You like different stuff ? This place is a keeper in that regard.
Most garden shops carry garden accents like cement benches
and bird houses and maybe a few other things.

This place is packed full of everything you could imagine in a garden dressing sense.

They feed the local birds so some are nesting in the million unique bird houses for sale outside.

And you have to look down when you're walking around inside the store
or you may step one of their resident wild chipmunks which they feed !

I love all the blue pots,urns,bird houses and sun gods.
Crafty people can get some great ideas here.





























The Picture below is what I just bought.
Not sure where he belongs yet. Right now he's keeping guard on the house.

Leaming's Run Garden

We had a nice afternoon stroll after finding Leaming's Run Garden here in South Jersey.
Not the best time of the year to visit but still worth it.
I have 2 pictures in this post. The first one is the tour.
The second picture is one of 4 or 5 signs they had posted regarding their hummingbird gardens.
What it says regarding feeders puzzles me.

Trip to the Garden Mart

Can you believe I didn't buy a thing ?
Most of the sale items are annuals in this area 7a.
Didn't see any good buys today. I took pictures of the planters for ideas...
you can always use ideas. Will get some flowers to add a little color
to the front of the house even though my summer annuals haven't died yet.
Hum, what will I get?


Need a detour from gardening? Visit Kim and Victoria.

Park and Zoo

This is our free local Zoo.
Do you believe it?
It's called Cape May Park and Zoo.

I could do a tourist page for South Jersey because there
are a number of interesting places to visit.
Maybe I will...like the Brigantine National Wildlife Refuge
or the beautiful beaches and boardwalks.
Then there are places not free like the Casinos with lots of entertainment.
Anyway we took a day off and went to the zoo.
Temperature was perfect. Took some pics.
